Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of hyperforin as a cytostatic agent and to a hyperforin ointment or cream which is suitable as a form for applying the hyperforin.
  • Hyperforin and the hypericins are characteristic constituents of St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), which also contains constituents which occur generally in the plant kingdom, such as flavone derivatives, flavonol derivatives, rutin, hyperoside, xanthone derivatives, amentoflavone, biapigenin and ethereal oils.
  • St. John's wort and St. John's wort extracts have already been employed for some considerable time in medicine and folk medicine as drugs for a wide variety of indications.
  • the constituent hypericin has also recently come to be used in drugs as an active compound in isolated form (L. Roth, Hypericum, Hypericin, Ecomed medicinal plant monograph. Ecomed, Landsberg/Lech, 1990).
  • the antidepressant activity which is comparable to that of the tricyclic antidepressants, of St. John's wort has been substantiated in a large number of placebo-controlled studies.
  • St. John's wort oil is employed, in particular, for treating wounds and pain and in association with burns (L. Roth loc. cit.).
  • hypericin was initially assumed to be the active compound in the St. John's wort oil.
  • the formula of hypericin is depicted below:
  • St. John's wort oil contains hyperforin (P. Maisenbacher et al., Planta Med. 58:351–354 (1992) and B. Hellwig, DAZ 137, 29, pages 35–36), whose formula is depicted below:
  • hyperforin As an active compound, hyperforin has aroused interest as an antidepressant substance (Pharmacopsychiatry 1988, Vol. 31, Supplement 1, pages 1–60). In addition to this, hyperforin possesses antibacterial activity (A. I. Gurevich et al., L. Antibiotiki, 16:510–513 (1971).
  • DE 195 47 317 discloses an antiviral medicament which is based on St. John's wort active compounds and which comprises 1–50% hypericin or pseudohypericin.
  • EP-A-0 599 307 discloses a dry extract prepared from St. John's wort having an elevated content of hyperforin and also its use for producing drugs having psychovegetative and antidepressant activity.
  • ointments which comprise a low concentration of Hypericum in addition to a variety of other medicinal herbs.
  • these ointments are: “Unguentum Truw” for wound treatment and the homeopathic agent “Traumeel S”, which is an antiinflammatory agent, and “Atemaron N R30”, which is an analgesic/antirheumatic agent.
  • Traumeel S which is an antiinflammatory agent
  • Ambulon N R30 which is an analgesic/antirheumatic agent.
  • hyperforin contains hyperforin.
  • hyperforin because of the instability of hyperforin, it must be assumed that hyperforin is either not present, or only present in low quantities, if the extract is not prepared, stored and processed while being protected from light and oxidation. For example, it is not possible to detect any hyperforin in a commercially available Hypericum extract (Hyperforate).
  • the known St. John's wort oil suffers from the disadvantage that, because of its fat content, it can only be used to a limited extent and is not suitable, for example, for treating eczemas. In addition to this, the oil only contains fat-soluble constituents of the St. John's wort and does not contain hypericin, for example.
  • Cytostatic agents inhibit the growth, in particular, of rapidly growing cells as are found in tumours and leukaemias. They are therefore suitable for use as chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer. While a large number of chemotherapeutic agents are known, these compounds also suffer from disadvantages. In particular, treatment with known chemotherapeutic agents is accompanied by pronounced side-effects and most chemotherapeutic agents only exhibit satisfactory activity towards particular tumour cell lines.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to make available an additional chemotherapeutic agent for treating cancer diseases.
  • Another object of the present invention is to make available a pharmaceutical formulation for the chemotherapeutic agent, which formulation does not suffer from the abovementioned disadvantages.
  • the formulation it should be possible for the formulation to be adapted to a variety of skin conditions.
  • the present invention consequently relates to the use of hyperforin for producing a drug for treating cancer diseases (primary tumors and metastases) and/or precancerous stages (cancer precursor stages).
  • cancer diseases are understood, in particular, as meaning malignant tumours and also lymphomas and leukaemias.
  • hyperforin is also particularly active against metastases, such as malignant melanoma (black skin cancer) metastases.
  • Hyperforin has also proved to be effective against epithelial tumours such as epithelial skin cancer.
  • This cancer is a slowly growing skin cancer which is readily accessible to topical treatment.
  • Epithelial skin cancer is also termed spinalioma, squamous cell carcinoma or prickle cell cancer.
  • hyperforin is also suitable for treating precancerous stages such as solar precancerous stages.
  • hyperforin is suitable for treating mammary carcinomas (breast cancer).
  • Hyperforin can be administered intravenously for treating systemic tumours and metastases.
  • the lyophilized or dried active compound can, for example, be dissolved freshly in physiological saline solution and immediately injected or infused.
  • the active compound can also be administered orally, for example in tablet form.
  • hyperforin is also suitable for local administration, for example by means of injection or instillation (for example endoscopically as well) within or around the tumour.
  • the active compound can, for example, be prepared for this purpose as described above for the intravenous administration.
  • the active compound can also advantageously be applied by epicutaneous application, for example in the form of a cream, with this application form being particularly suitable, for example, for treating solar precancerous stages.
  • the active compound can, for example, be dissolved in ethanol and worked into a greasy ointment base. This can take effect occlusively (under film) on the tumour, for example for a period of 24 hours.
  • Particularly preferred ointments and creams are described in more detail below.
  • the concentration of hyperforin at the site of action should be sufficiently high to ensure that an antiproliferative or apoptosis-inducing effect is elicited.
  • the concentration which is required for this purpose can vary depending on the nature of the treated tumour and can be readily determined by the skilled person.
  • a hyperforin concentration of 50 ⁇ g/ml in the administered solution is advantageous in the case of injection into a tumour while an active compound concentration of 100 ⁇ g/ ⁇ l is advantageous in connection with epicutaneous application.
  • the active compound should be injected in quantities which are sufficient to ensure that plasma levels of at least 50 ⁇ g/ml are achieved. This corresponds to a hyperforin quantity of about 5 mg/kg of patient body weight.
  • hyperforin can advantageously be administered in a pharmaceutical formulation which is in the form of a topical ointment or cream which comprises at least 15 ⁇ g of hyperforin/ml.
  • the ointment or cream should contain a concentration of active compound which is as high as possible, preferably in the range of 0.02–20 mg of hyperforin/ml, more preferably in the range of 1–20 mg/ml and particularly preferably about 10 mg/ml (1% hyperforin).
  • the ointment or cream according to the invention can additionally comprise hypericins as additional active compounds.
  • the total concentration of the hypericins in the ointments or cream should be at least 15 ⁇ g/ml, preferably 20–150 ⁇ g/ml.
  • hypericins are understood as meaning hypericin and its pharmaceutically active derivatives. These include, in particular, pseudohypericin, which differs from hypericin in that a methyl group is replaced with hydroxymethyl.
  • the abovementioned active compounds can be introduced into the ointment or cream either as pure substances or in the form of a St. John's wort extract of defined concentration.
  • the ointment or cream according to the invention preferably does not comprise any other plant extracts apart from the St. John's wort extract.
  • a St. John's wort extract which contains at least 200 ⁇ g of hyperforin/ml and at least 200 ⁇ g of hypericins/ml is suitable for preparing the ointments or cream according to the invention.

  • hyperforin cream containing a high proportion of hyperforin has an immunomodulatory effect in vivo. It was possible to demonstrate, by means of experiments using purified hyperforin, that this immunomodulatory effect is to be attributed to the hyperforin.
  • the immunodulatory effect of the cream according to the invention was tested ex vivo in humans (in each case 4 test subjects). For this, skin samples which had been treated in different ways were removed and an investigation was carried out to determine whether the ability of epidermal Langerhans cells to present antigen is affected. In detail, this was investigated in an MECLR (mixed epidermal cell leukocyte reaction): In 4 test subjects in each case, round test areas of 2 cm in diameter on the flexor side of the lower arm were treated with Hypericum cream (containing 24 ⁇ g of hyperforin/ml and 30 ⁇ g of hyperin/ml), with hyperforin cream (24 ⁇ g/ml) or with sun simulator irradiation (144 J/cm 2 ).
  • MECLR mixed epidermal cell leukocyte reaction
  • FCS foetal calf serum
  • FIG. 8 show that the hyperforin-containing St. John's wort cream and the hyperforin cream significantly inhibit proliferation to the same order of magnitude as does irradiation with the sun simulator.
  • This example demonstrates the proliferation-inhibiting effect of hyperforin in vitro.
  • use was made of pure hyperforin from HWI-Analytik (Rheinzabern). The purity of the hyperforin was >90%.
  • the solvent DMSO was tested at the maximum concentration employed and did not exhibit any effect on the proliferation and vitality of the cells. Normal skin samples were removed from healthy test subjects; these samples were then incubated with hyperforin in vitro and an investigation was carried out to determine whether the ability of epidermal Langerhans cells to present antigen is affected.
  • Example 14 This was investigated in an MECLR (mixed epidermal cell leukocyte reaction) as described in Example 14:
  • MECLR mixed epidermal cell leukocyte reaction
  • epidermal suction blisters were produced on the flexor side of the lower arm using a vacuum.
  • the roof of the blister was dissected out under sterile conditions using a scalpel and a suspension of epidermal cells (EC) was prepared by treating with trypsin.
  • a part of the EC or the TC was in each case incubated for 24 h with 24 ⁇ g of hyperforin/ml.
  • the cells were washed and 50,000 EC were cocultured for 6 days (37° C., 5% CO 2 ) with 150,000 TC (T cells) in 1640 RPMI containing 10% foetal calf serum (FCS) containing 1% penicillin-streptomycin in 96-well flat-bottomed microtitre plates (Greiner). 1 ⁇ Curie of 3 H-thymidine (Amersham) was then added per well and, after 18 h, the incorporated radioactivity was measured in a scintillation counter (Canberra Packard). The radioactivity which is measured is proportional to the replication of the DNA in the cells.
